Richard Fahey's Devlin is afforded plenty of respect but his pedigree suggests he may come into his own over further and preference is for HAMZA, a colt by the yard's top class Amadeus Wolf and out of a dam that is a half-sister to Dandy Man. Quite simply, he is bred for speed and a big run is anticipated. Mark Johnston's Exceed and Excel colt Idler is another that makes appeal on breeding and enters calculations.
An interesting maiden for which the market will surely be the best guide. Bryan Smart won this race in 2009 and may do so again courtesy of Pontius Pilate, though Hamza also appeals on paper and Devlin represents the stable that took this last year with an odds-on shot.
He has won four times from 1m to 1m 4f on firm and good to firm ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2 1/2l behind Sir Haydn when fourth of 8 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Southwell over 1m 4f last month.

Placed twice in seven starts. Third of 6 behind Honest Broker beaten 4 1/2l at 9-2 on his latest flat outing at Hamilton over 1m 1f (good) in August last year.
Eton Fable should give it a good go from the front and scored in this grade at Southwell last month while Relative Strength is another that goes well at plating level, but GRAND DIAMOND looks the one to be on. Jim Goldie's gelding has been in reasonable form over hurdles recently and in receipt of 5lb from the last-named, looks set for a big run now back on the level with Kieren Fallon doing the steering.
Not much between the runners at the weights but the good hurdles form of Grand Diamond gets him the vote ahead of recent AW winner Relative Strength and Red Kestrel.
Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Mey Blossom at 8-1 when eighth of 13 on his latest outing at Beverley over 5f (good to firm) in August last year. Having his first run for a new stable today.

Oldjoesaid is well treated on his best form but can only be watched at present. Highland Warrior showed he was no back number last season with a series of credible runs here, including a C&D win in September. If his appetite remains he would be in with a solid chance (goes well fresh) but preference is for the unexposed and improving hold up performer NADEEN, who has hinted at Southwell the last twice that his turn is near.
Mandurah is thrown in on old form for the yard and looks worth chancing first time out from a decent draw. Oldjoesaid is another capable of going well fresh on a good mark, while a change of stable could have revived Go Go Green.
A winner at 4-1 at Kempton over 6f on his latest outing in September last year, beating Soviet Spring by 1l.

A winner at 6f on good ground. Finished 5l behind Tro Nesa when sixth of 11 at 33-1 on her latest outing at Ayr over 6f (good to soft) in October last year.
Chilledtothebone is likely to be popular with Kieren Fallon in the plate but it might pay to take a chance on DELANEY'S DREAM, who looks well treated on his handicap bow judging by his maiden win at Catterick (had subsequent all-weather scorers Monsieur Jamie and Joe Le Taxi filling the minor placings in behind). Las Verglas Star has edged up the handicap without winning but sets a solid form standard and is likely to finish in the shake-up.
This looks set to be dominated by the top weights with the progressive Delaney's Dream just preferred to Chilledtothebone now both are back to what looks their best trip. Las Verglas Star came to hand early last year and can also take a hand.
A winner at 7f on good ground. Beaten 3/4l by Pintura when second of 7 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Epsom over 1m (heavy) in October last year.

A winner at 6f on good to firm ground, but that win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Bourne when last of 18 on his latest flat outing at Doncaster over 1m 2f (good) in October last year. Runs from 5lb out of handicap.

The handicapper may have caught up Elijah Pepper now so the eased-in-grade NORTHERN FLING is preferred. Jim Goldie's charge appears to have lost some of his speed as he has grown older but was staying on over this trip at Ayr when signing off last season and has a history of going well fresh. The lightly-raced Guest Book, who ran a cracker in a higher grade at Epsom late last term, is another to consider.
It looks significant that Guest Book's powerful yard has kept him in training and he can prove too speedy at this trip for Prince Apollo. Snow Bay should also be thereabouts in a tight handicap.
Well beaten at 40-1 behind Grandioso when seventh of 8 on his latest outing in a NH flat race here over 2m (soft) in February.

CALYPSO MAGIC shaped with promise in maiden company last term and looks sure to appreciate this step up in trip so gets the vote here. Dressing Room, a half-brother to Lord Shanakill, wasn't running to quite the same level of form as the selection last term but is another expected to fare better over this longer distance and he warrants the utmost respect. See The Smile is entitled to strip fitter for his reappearance run on the all-weather last month and is also considered.
There's not much to choose between See The Smile and Dressing Room on what they have achieved, but the latter has the more potential and gets the nod. Rainy Champion is an interesting newcomer, and market support for him could prove significant.
A winner at 7f on good to firm ground, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 16l behind Diggeratt when fifth of 8 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Southwell over 1m 3f in November last year.

A very difficult race to untangle but there is plenty to like about the chances of VERLUGA. Bryan Smart's gelding has sharpened up his fitness with a couple of spins over hurdles and returns to the Flat off a realistic mark. My One Weakness and Bahamian Kid look competitively weighted and shouldn't be far away, while Shunkawakhan is 11lb lower than his C&D victory three seasons ago and he isn't without hope in an open race.
Hits Only Jude is more versatile than his win-only record on fibresand would suggest and returns on a lenient-looking mark in an easier race than he often contests. Verluga and My One Weakness appeal most of the rest.
